Brackeys 2D Movement Jump Not Working

I am new to coding and I watched the "2D Movement in Unity (Tutorial)" video by Brackeys. *Yes I went to their discord and multiple others as well.* The moving and crouching all works so far however my character will not jump. (My ground check is lower than the players hitbox.)

 

Can you submit your code here

 

Either post your code and make a specific question, or ask "Brackeys", don't assume everyone is familiar with some terrible youtube tutorial you found.

 

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement1 : MonoBehaviour
{
public CharacterController2D controller;
public float runSpeed = 40f;
float horizontalMove = 0f;
bool jump = false;
bool crouch = false;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
horizontalMove = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * runSpeed;

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
{
jump = true;
}

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Crouch"))
{
crouch = true;
} else if (Input.GetButtonUp("Crouch"))
{
crouch = false;
}
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
// Move our character
controller.Move(horizontalMove * Time.fixedDeltaTime, crouch, jump);
jump = false;
}
}

 

Video title and channel is there, said I asked their discord, and stated my problem as well as one solution I tried. New here sorry for your confusion

 

Use code tags to better format your code. Seems you're using a Unity character controller, since those are pretty terrible I never use them, so I don't know the answer, but why are you setting jump to false in every fixed update?

 

Lol this guy patronized you, insulted Brackey's, which is stupid because of how good his channel really is and him dedicating a decade of his life to make unity more accessible for beginners (because people like this commenter exist), made excuses for why he couldn't answer the question, and then answered the question!

 

Thank you for the meta-commentary a year and a half later.

If you want an update on my situation: I now know who Brackeys is and I can confirm that I do not like his videos. I guess he didn't like them much either since he stopped making them.

I still think posting about an issue without providing the relevant code is a bad idea, and going even further by not providing context, or a link to the tutorial itself, and assuming everyone knows what you're talking about is an even worse idea.

I also still think Unity's character controller is terrible and shouldn't be used by anyone.

If you have any actual issues and need help, please post code (in code tags) and not just refer to a random tutorial you just watched assuming everyone else knows what you're talking about.

 

I'm also new and if your saying that character controller is bad what is the better way of writing a character movement script and where can I learn that way.

 

I hate to be pedantic but when you're doing code, watch your spelling and grammar, it doesn't like typos.

Like your equals you're
